Magnetic Resonance Imaging Coils Market Growth & Trends

The global magnetic resonance imaging coils market size is expected to reach USD 13.7 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021 to 2028. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, neurological, cancer, and urological is expected to drive the market. Rising chronic diseases is a global healthcare concern. In the U.S., over half of the adult population suffers from these chronic diseases. Around 75.0% of the total healthcare expenditure in the U.S. is used for providing care for these chronic conditions.

For instance, as per the National Cancer Institute, in 2020, around 1,806,590 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S. Similarly, as per American Heart Association, the mortality related to cardiovascular diseases is very high, with around 17.3 million deaths registered per year. This death rate is projected to reach 23.6 million by 2030. These diseases require imaging tools, mainly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for diagnosis and monitoring of progression as well as treatment effects. The growing demand for MRI for various applications will lead to the adoption of MRI coils, which, in turn, may propel market growth.

Additionally, growing awareness regarding early diagnosis is also expected to contribute to market growth. Cancer and cardiovascular diseases together result in the highest global mortality rate. This has captured the attention of various governments and healthcare organizations and is driving them towards creating awareness regarding these diseases. For instance, in 2010, prevention and early detection services were offered free of cost to people aged 65 years and above through Medicare under the Affordable Care Act. Similarly, the Indian Cancer Society runs a Cancer Awareness and Educational Program. Through this program, it aims to create awareness regarding signs and symptoms of the disease and commercially available cancer treatments and diagnostic tools. It also aims at creating awareness regarding the benefits of early diagnosis of disease. Growing awareness will contribute towards the adoption of MRI and MRI coils during the forecast period.

Since the demand for magnetic resonance imaging machines is increasing, market players are developing advanced and high field strength (7T) magnetic resonance imaging machines. The growing development of these machines is creating opportunities for various players manufacturing MRI coils, to develop coils that support high field strength machines. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging coils for high field strength machine is only available for head and knee application, however, various research institutes are researching to understand it’s efficiency in other applications as well. Despite these advancements, the high cost of MRI coils, new or refurbished is expected to hinder the market growth.
